Agreed. Im not flashing anything that will lock bootloader. I will wait for the dev's to cook something up.
[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
In the past I've been formatting any card via my pc prior to putting it in my phone. But being the 3d is dual core and the card being class 10 I was wondering if it was best to do it in the phone or does it really matter?

Or does it even need to be formatted at all?
[HTC EVO 3D] spencer88:
You can just put it in the phone and it will format it automatically for you, unless you need to copy over the contents of your old card to it, then you can format it on your PC and then copy the data over to it.
[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
Thanks. I will let the phone do the formatting then. I was just under assumption that formatting through pc would be better for it.
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
install this on your PC it works really good in my opinion.its made specifically for microsd cards.

Hello, I have been planning on doing the same thing and before I open a random zip file (sorry, don't mean to offend), could you tell me what the program does?
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
its just a sdformatter for your PC, you can also google microSD formatter and find it that way.
[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
Oh man I saw this too late. I've already copied over 29gb of stuff from my old card to this new one. Dang it. It took about an hour an half which isn't too bad but I have to think it over if I wanna redo this. Anyway I will keep that file handy incase I see some issue with the card that might require reformatting.

How does this differ from default PC formatting?

I ported over 2nd-init for Gingerbread from the Atrix to the Photon. The only thing I changed was init.rc, by replacing it with the Photon's init.rc. The real credit for this goes to eval. He is the one that got it working on Gingerbread for the Atrix.

Requirements:

Rooted Photon

Instructions:

1. Use your favorite method to get http://higgs.cygnusx-1.org/~edgan/2nd-init-Photon-0.9.tar.gz onto the phone in /mnt/sdcard/download

2. Start adb/ssh/terminal

3. Run su to become root

4. export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/system/bin

5. Run mount -o remount,rw /system

6. mv /system/bin/remountpds /system/bin/remountpds.orig

7. Run tar -C / -zxf /mnt/sdcard/download/2nd-init-Photon-0.9.tar.gz

8. Run ls -a -l /system/bin/2nd-init to verify it is there. If it is not there, and you don't know how to fix it, then go to the revert instructions.

9. Reboot phone while holding volume down

10. Wait till you see Fastboot at the top of the screen

11. Press volume down repeatedly till it says USB Early Enumeration

12. Press volume up, and wait for it to boot

13. Start adb/ssh/terminal

14. export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/system/bin

15. mount | grep debugfs

16. Look for good output, but if you get no output, it didn't work.

Good output:

/sys/kernel/debug on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw,relatime)

Revert instructions:

1. mv /system/bin/remountpds.orig /system/bin/remountpds

Thank you eval!

Thank you bane449!

Thank you Yay!

Happy my work could be of use =) Real credit goes to Skrilax_CZ for writing it!

Wondering what is second init? Me too... Here is the text from and-developers.com's wiki page.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mikeyinid:
Second init will allow aosp roms to be ran over the stock kernel with the locked bootloader. This is awesome news and i cant wait to see people working on CM7 and just aosp in general. Awesome work again guys :)

[Motorola Photon 4G] sub2k1:
What is the difference between this and the cwm bootstrap recovery posted by kennethpenn? Which is better to have?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mikeyinid:
Two totally different things. This is not a recovery.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mr_wrong_0:
My experience is that they (2nd-init and CWM) are best used together.

I haven't had the chance to use the photon yet but I have worked a Defy and the 2nd-init gives a way to boot directly into the custom recovery which is super handy when you have flashed something that didn't work perfectly.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mikeyinid:
Maybe i dont fully understand 2nd init then. I know on the Droid X if your running CM7(2nd init) and you try to bootstrap into recovery you have to sbf. Guess I better do some more research...

* I think you misread the question that I was answering or something. He asked what the difference between 2nd init and bootstrap were.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mr_wrong_0:
Sir I yield to your knowledge. :)

I am admittedly new to Moto phones and I haven't put any custom roms on one except the Defy and I think that one might be a pretty odd duck.

The process on the Defy is: Root first of course (SuperOneClick was what I used) install both 2nd-init and CWM each via an APK.

Then you could restart the phone and when the blue light came on you had to push vol down and choose custom recovery.

I say they are best used together because if you don't have 2nd-init the only way to boot into the custom recovery was to boot into android and open the system recovery app and choose reboot into recovery, but there are times when something goes wrong and it doesn't boot. In that case it's nice to be able to hardware boot into the recovery using 2nd-init.

I understand that he was asking the difference between the two, but I wanted to point out that there are times when they are used together.

After thinking it over it's possible that it wasn't as helpful as I had hoped it would be.

EDIT ** I see you are from Idaho... What part? I'm in northern Utah just across the boarder.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jbrussee:
If the photon gets cm7 or asop before ATRIX im going to throw my ATRIX in the ocean and buy an iphone. And never look at android again. Ever. Period.
[Motorola Photon 4G] aaron130:
In step 4 do I actually type export PATH= in adb or does it start with PATH=? Sorry for the noob question im new to this Motorola thing HTC rooting seemed so much easier! Trying to learn all over again. Lol. Actually I love learning all this. I thought I was an expert until getting this Photon.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsotm82:
And now I know what I'm replacing my locked EVO with next month! Strong work!
[Motorola Photon 4G] RickNY1971:
So, if I have the Bootstrap Recovery installed, how exactly would I go about getting to it from 2nd-init once I have made the necessary changes?

Thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] dingo502:
Im wondering the same thing!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
I was glad to see there was another option for custom ROMS via 2nd-init. By the looks of the dates on this thread, 2nd-init became a dead issue? That's too bad, reading thru the posts, it sounded promising for a user with a locked bootloader and possibly using Bootstrap Recovery. Guess imma have to do some more research regarding this because the OP, with the Title "Let the ROMS poor in!!" made it seem like everyone develops using 2nd-init or something to that effect!

Maybe with the locked down bootloader on 2.3.5, some one will come back to this and give it another run thru!!?

I'm currently on 2.3.5 and use BSR and am thinking imma run the 2nd-init script to see what happens. I'm just personally not sure where to go or what to do afterwards...

[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Of course, Motorola Defy has CM9 running with less issues, than we have and that all with locked bootloader, because of this tool and Epsylon, Quarx, Maniac and others.

And probably thanks TI, for better development support, then Nvidia.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Non¢s:
Here is a good description how 2nd-init works.

http://cvpcs.org/blog/2011-06-14/2nd-init._what_it_is_and_how_it_works
[Motorola Photon 4G] sub2k1:
That was a great read. Its a shame nobody ever developed a cm9 rom for 2nd init but Im not sure cm9 would run so smoothly with the stock Motorola gb kernel. If I remember correctly we ended up unlocking the boot loader about two weeks after this was announced and 2nd init is used for bootstrap recovery so it wasn't an entire waste.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dusk2k3:
This has been a frustrating problem that started since I first rooted my GTab. I first tried installing VeganTab Gingerbread 7. When I started the GTab up after the first install, it got stuck with a blank black screen after the first splash screen. This happened for all ROMs except VeganTab 5.1.

Even with VeganTab 5.1, it constantly will drop to either a black screen or a white screen with black lines. I restart and sometimes it restarts fine, sometimes it goes to the black screen before the VeganTab Splash screen.

Getting tired of fighting that, I did a reformat and tried Gingerbread 7 again. This time it worked for about 24 hours. Once I hooked it up to my computer to load some software, it crashed again, (red screen this time, matching the Gingerbread background) I couldn't get the Gtab to restart again after that. It would get the the Gingerbread splash screen and then go black or red again. On I went to reinstall VeganTab 5.1 after another reformat and I get the same results

I wipe Davlik Cache, Factory Rest, Wipe Partition Cache, and Fix Permissions and still have the same problems.

BTW, this is a 1.1 Tab not a 1.2

Any idea's at all?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Install a Terminal Emulator app, and the Superuser app, if you don't already have them, then reboot the tablet and run the emboldened commands inside a Terminal window:

$ [B]su[/B]
# [B]dmesg > /mnt/sdcard/dmesg.txt[/B]
# [B]logcat -d > /mnt/sdcard/logcat.txt[/B]

Attach both the text files to your next post. We'll see what's ailing your tablet.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audi_rs:
Hey all, kind of a noob question i guess but i am confused. i thought the version of CM7 i flashed was based on android 2.3.4 but to my surprise it was 2.3.3. kind of a big deal to me as i use the video calling feature.

i went here: download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=crespo and downloaded update-cm-7.0.3-NS-signed.zip thinking it was the latest and greatest.

does anyone know if there is a STABLE cm7 out that is based off of 2.3.4. this is for a regular nexus s running on rogers

tia!

edit: after browsing around it looks like 7.1 RC is the latest? i cant find if this is compatible with the nexus s. can someone please confirm so i dont brick my device :)

Hi.

I was trying to flash my t5388i but now it is stuck at downloading mode and after some short period of time restart its self and came back in downloding mode.

If i do hard reset (vol up + vol down + pwr btn) i get same story.

After that i also tried to flash it by sd card way, but still no luck for me :(

(I re-format a microSD card to FAT32, before was FAT16) but still nothing.

Another problem comes with this immortal downloading mode - I can't connect my clone to PC correctly. (it connect and disconnect in a second).

Does enyone know any solution for this? :confused:

find your rom version and rename it to k3img.bin. copy to sd card then vol up+vol down+power button.but you should be careful ,because if it is not your rom version it 'll damage your phone.

lmao I kept the hero as a "back up phone" ...just in case something happens to my evo..

funny thing is that when the evo 4g came out, I bought it and for some reason I was in love with my hero and at the time the evo 4g had issues so i got rid of it and kept the hero ..then i got an evo for a cheap price and kept it..but that one took a fall and you know the rest of the story..so i went back to the hero....

and the story goes something like that and I ended up with an evo 4g again..

[EVO 4G General] bigtoysrock:
Well not brsting bubbles here. But bestbuy has had the ns4g for free for awhile now. Just came to sprint last week and got a ns4g and 2 evo 4g's for free plus a port in credit of $375. How that happened was bestbuy had the ns4g for free and radio shack had the evos for free. The manager at the sprint store told us they would match that price (free). Plus we had ne activation fees cause I belong to a credit union with a 10% discount. Now my wife works for a hospital and they get 23% off and applied for that 2 days ago and said we were approved for it. So all in all got payed $375 and got free phones.

The free phones are for upgrades or new contracts.
[EVO 4G General] stangdriverdoug:
When I went into best buy it was explained to me that you had to be a new customer only, so she had to pay $99.... Then the very next day they announced it was for everyone. New customers and upgrades. At least they gave her her $100 back:)
[EVO 4G General] bigtoysrock:
I can't say for sure on that cause we never made it there due to sprint price matching. It was great getting payed to sign with sprint.
